Hi Bob,

I used this on the last resto of my car, 20 years ago. It was a bear to
pull loose most of the pieces this time around, only a few places had
come loose and some of the vinyl tore to shreds before the glue let go!

Yes, fresh paint in most cases.

I was equally generous!
I used the batting on the car's dashboard cover (no one was making
replacements in those days) and noticed the vinyl got more wrinkles and
loosened up there. It worked pretty well for 20 years, but I would
probably do it differently this time around, if I were attempting to
reuse the original dash top.
